"African Trade Beads" is a recent book (2023) wherein morfia and fakrun beads can be seen on pp. 92-93.

This is a beautifully illustrated book, composed by a naive collector who did not educate himself about bead research before he committed to writing about African beads.

Consequently the book is much-less-informative than it would be, had he conducted some research first. However, some of his observations, based on personal local experiences, will be useful to someone interested in an African perspective.
